I thought that was Jason Tatum

@@NotOneToFly Tobias harris plays more like Melo than he does Tatum.... He also shoots like Melo lol.... Paul george plays like Tmac..... Tmac in today's ERA would be similar to Paul George.....

@@xxprodigygod7627 TMac is a good comp, yeah. PG is more methodical. My comment (and OP) was a reference to a funkydiabetic tweet btw

I just choked on my drink. That was good. 😂😂😂

not even in the same conversation

I ultimately don’t blame PG for leaving at all. Kawhi can’t stay healthy and it’s a reoccurring theme every year. It forced PG to be thrusted into a number 1 option when he was brought there to be a number 2

No other options, tbh. At least they upgraded on tobias

This was their best option, not enough quality FAs to build similar to Knicks or Celtics so sure it'll most likely not work but it was the best move

Hey it worked for the Celtics. Our next three guys are waaaay better though.

PG is a GOAT 3rd option. Can play off ball, can playmake, can shoot, and can defend.

I agree, but it is a bit unfortunate that the contract is gonna be stinky in a few years. Also Jimmy did want to stay though. He’s talked about how the sixers front office chose toby over him

@@arley3049 and I heard reports that he said he wouldn’t play with Brett Brown. Either way, we won’t have a chance to be a title contender by the end of his deal anyway so it’ll be ok

@@arley3049he wanted the GM to fire the coach and move on from 2 of the highest payed players he “wanted” to come sure. In retrospect he was right but no way the GM was going to accept those kind of demands

Nah Jimmy said someone on the 76ers front office had said “Can we control Jimmy?” Which is absurd and the main reason Jimmy left. As a Heat fan Im very glad 76ers messed up that situation.

@@Scooby27280 Exactly: "TOBIAS HARRIS OVER ME?" That doesn't sound like someone who didn't want to be there lol.

Yeah as much as it pissed me off at the time as a sixers fan, I think it’s good for the league to have 3 passionate fan bases that will show up for playoff games and get the crown noise up

@@tysonmaddox1090I generally dislike the fans for all of those teams but it’s so entertaining in game

Had same thoughts

I look at it this way. Is PG better and more consistent than Tobias Harris?!?!? Yes. PG is a decent size upgrade from Tobias Harris. Harris being the third option gave the sixers an 0/2 (FG), 29 minutes, ZERO point, 4 Rebound, 3 Assist outting in an elimination game. That is undefendable. I'll take an overpaid PG for 4 years then having to sit through even just one more Tobias Harris game. The Pistons finished with 14 wins?!?! Let's see how much Harris adds to that total.

That's mostly okay. He's not Tobias Harris and he's still a great defender and passer. The Sixers don't need perfection. They need not Ben Simmons or Tobias Harris.

​@@MasterofLightninghe's an absolutely terrible passer lol and you all will soon find out. Not only is he consistently off the mark with the fundamentals of passing (throws the ball over other heads or at their feet), but he struggles with when and where to pass it. You will get consistent boneheaded plays from the guy leaving you scratching your head as to how he arrived at his stats-- especially in crunch time.

Having doc as a coach certainly doesn't help.

Best we can do is trade Brook at this point lol

​@@thefrenchfryguy9959Who is gonna want him at his age?

​@@thefrenchfryguy9959 nah trade bobby. He's the only one with good value that can be moved

@@winter9242trade him to the Sixers

It was all psychological. A new team can change everything. To be fair to your opinion though it can also force him to fully bottom out. But these shake ups are more often than not positive.

@@josephmatthews7698he already changed teams a few times and it’s always the same issues

@@luiscordero1072bingo

He just has to be better than Tobias Harris

@@luiscordero1072but he’s the 3rd man in line now. Never had this role.

This is wild bruh

I see no lies...

Marcin Gortat was pretty good on those Wizards teams with John Wall.

​@@phillydelphia8760 John Wall tax

Did they really?

​@@taxationistheft7 I heard it was a tax thing. Orlando has lower income tax so KCP went there

Idk how true this is, truly don’t. They could’ve offered a longer deal though, but maybe KCP didn’t want a longer deal. The best of both worlds would’ve been KCP opting in to his 15.4M PO, extending 140%, so… 15.4M 21.56M 23,284,800 25,009,600 That would’ve been a 3/70M extension. Total of 4/85.2 or so. They even could’ve done another season, at 26,734,400. So 4/96.59M extension, 5/112M total. That would’ve been a way for them to stay under the second apron this season while retaining KCP. They would’ve ended up in the 2A eventually, but you can be in the 2A for a year or two without much issue. Could’ve moved him after another 2-3 runs at the chip. But like I said maybe KCP didn’t want that long term deal, who really knows. I just think if you are a contender and need to pay a guy to remain at that level, you do it and figure it out later. $ should’ve never been an issue with how rich the owner is…and if they paid KCP like 3/72 or something even, they could’ve moved him in a couple years. This really feels like Kroenke cheaping out to me. But who really knows!

Can’t blame him. Less taxes, better weather

@@JBYHIFIno one wants to play with Jokic , murray, malone

Holy shit, there needs to be some more strict salary cap regulations because at some point small market teams just can’t compete. Just imagine 10 years from now when someone is gonna make 100 million a year.

@@joelogbamichael7177 Small market teams should not exist. Just like small towns should not exist. Salary cap is anti-american.

Hell yeah team demar over here. Let the haters hate. I stand with a real world king.

I’ve seen this narrative before but didn’t pg need to opt into his player option for that to be a possibility?

Or maybe I'm misunderstanding and PG would have had to sign off on the team, since it was a sign and trade?

The offer was fabricated to make the Warriors look better They never offered Kuminga

Basically what the Clippers said in their announcement that PG wasn’t coming back was that they told PG “We can’t give you what you want because we won’t have the flexibility to be able to continue building the team around you, Kawhi & Harden” and essentially they said that the trades that were offered to them would have still left them with very little flexibility in roster management. At least that’s how I read it.

The deals offered were not that great and they didn't want to empower direct competition for that. Still thinking they should have searched for another solution in the east (maybe Milwaukee, Miami or even the Cavs)

Maxey got the Max and loves Philly he is not going anywhere 😮

@@malmazing24every star says they love the city they play in, I pray for Sixers fans that Maxey means it.

@@joelogbamichael7177 He basically taking over once Joel leaves😎

Right but notice how after my initial reaction I said the money was fine lol. Difference between that and screaming OVERPAY in the replies of every contract extension ever

I mean OKC has the money to spend all there players are cheap except sga. Its not like a Boston Celtics where there entire starting 5 is making big time bread.

@@kohsmoger1567 ya i mean every team that pays a guy has the money and Hartenstein is a great add, but the amount of money a man who averages 6 points per game is still pretty startling

@@jordancaselberry3223 It’s not about offense. It’s about defense

K

I get where you're coming from. He's ok I think. he's shot a decent percentage in past years but on low volume. His form also doesn't convince too many defenders and he's often shooting wide open threes. Oddly enough he's had two 7 three pointer games but I think they were more outliers than the norm

I should add, they lost these players a couple years after their championship runs.. instead of adding players like Dallas just did with adding Klay + Grimes who will help them significantly

Ehh they didn’t lose like their core guys but they didn’t get any better

People talk about gsw downfall for years. Don't know where you've been. At least the warriors have interesting young players and future picks going forward.

​@@taxationistheft7 they lost their 6th man bruce brown after the chip and now they lost their PoA defender

When was PG depressed?

Embiid has maybe 5% less injury concerns lol

Embiid even if he's injured he'll play. Kawhi does not

@@handler--..1673exactly. Embiid plays thru injuries and will give you a couple 30 point games

Embiid literally played this post season and dropped from 30 to 50 points on a nightly basis

I’m 100% confident they won’t. Embiid isn’t technically as injury prone as kawhi but he literally always gets injured right before or during the playoffs and pg and maxey aren’t enough to win a series

@@buggyfreshlover i never said they going to, i got the knicks and celtics over them

Klay is already in Mavs that cant happen.

The package wasn’t good enough. No Kuminga, then no deal. Flexibility is the best option after losing PG. With the new CBA, flexibility is the best way to go. That second apron is a killer. All of the clippers current signings have only been possible because PG decided to sign elsewhere. The Clippers aren’t a contender, but they are probably more or less the same with PG with the new additions. Also, there are still a few move the clippers could make to be a dark horse this coming season. From the Clippers current signings, it looks like they really want to focus on defense. Heck, with these signings, they would most likely be top 10 on defense this coming season. If anything, the goal is to have a huge amount cap space in 2026. So the future is much brighter than if we signed PG or made that trade that didn’t include Kaminga.

@@ohyeamanishere Your full of it and are delusional about the clippers future. They have no future and they didn't get something in exchange for George like picks. They didn't win buddy.

@@ohyeamanishere Kuminga was included in the deal buddy.

Bucks ahead?? How

@@Hardtoplease32because Giannis + Dame has a way higher ceiling in the playoffs then whatever Embiid + random co-star does.

Breaking: water is wet

No lol

not really it’s very top heavy, you still have the raptors,pistons,nets,hornets,bulls,wizards and maybe the hawks that are either going to be rebuilding or or mediocre

With 3 or 4 great teams, maybe. Still too much trash at the 6-15 range

@@erv_. Still better than the lebron years where Lebron's teams were the only ones with a chance.

@@kohsmoger1567 equal, it’s really only 3 contenders next year Celtics Knick’s and Bucks. Lebron faced solid top heavy teams before 25 during his first stint with the cavs (pistons, Celtics, magic,) then those later 2010 east teams with ( Pacers, Bulls, celtics ). Lebron just ran through those top teams of east every chance he got. The east is always weaker than the west and has always been a top heavy conference

Jimmy is still under contract with the Heat. He is also aging and injury-prone, just like PG and Embiid. His playoff performances don't cover for that.

​@@urbaindelva7869 I think he meant before. And yes, they should have. Jimmy over Tobias and I think the 76ers might have had a ring by now. As it stands, even though I like the move, I think their window is over. This might mean they can make a conference championship, finally, but they're only getting to the finals over an injured boston and they're losing to all the top teams in the West.

You don’t think adding another injury prone serial choker moves the needle?

Well, Paul obviously wasn't interested. Also, at 39 years old, how much would he actually do for them?

I’m sorry I love you
